Quantum computing has disruptive potential. After steep advances in recent years, it is receiving significant government and business investments. As a tech-savvy businessperson, you might understand that quantum computers can harness the unusual properties of matter at the nanoscopic level to perform complex calculations beyond the realm of existing computers. But as claims regarding the power and pitfalls of Quantum computing mushroom, we need to discern myth from reality if we are to leverage quantum computing for business applications.

This blog will introduce you to Quantum Computing, followed by the business case for it. Finally, we touch base on its applications (a detailed blog on its applications will follow) and what to expect regarding advancements in this field.

Quantum Computing (QC) could be a way to revive the speed of progress for advancements in capabilities that computers have. Businesses are already experimenting with real QCs today to set themselves up for a competitive advantage in the future. QC represents a paradigm shift in which QCs will work in unison with traditional computers. They will not replace classical computers, but be a part of an expanded computing paradigm. This shift focuses on the…
